We've been lied to. Now, he and hundreds of military personnel, scientists, and civilians who had top-secret access to Unacknowledged Special Access Projects (USAPs) have come forward with startling revelations about the greatest cover-up in human history in an attempt to prevent a false flag event in the works that if unleashed would make 9/11 look like a fender bender.Holding nothing back, Dr. Greer and his witnesses provide startling details about this unacknowledged chapter in history, energy and anti-gravitic systems, lunar bases, and black shelved technologies (purposely denied patents) that can transform our world...if we force their introduction into the free market.

The book opens a new perspective to our planet showing that our future can be wonderful; our Earth can be transformed into a real paradise where important material causes of stress and suffering are abolished."
""A great challenge of life: Knowing enough to think you are right, but not knowing enough to know you are wrong.""
"The information may be familiar to students of the genre, but his arguments for releasing free energy technologies are the reasonable conclusion to a lifetime of effort at dispelling ignorance."
"Excellent book."
"He also touches on the consequences of attempting to reveal the truth about the presence of ET's and cites specific cases such as the death of William Colby, who was Director of the CIA when he died; and the death of Marilyn Monroe who was about to reveal some ET secrets told to her by John F. Kennedy."
"A defining moment in starting a new and rewarding experience with this subject."
"Great book on a subject that gets ridiculed a lot by the main stream media."
"A most interesting read on the topic from a most remarkable man."
Facing the Shadow, Embracing the Light: A Journey of Spirit Retrieval and Awakening is the story of one woman's induction into the world of extraterrestrials, flying saucers, shadow government operations and finally, her own transformation. In 1994, Niara Terela Isley discovered a disturbing three-month block of missing time from her time in the USAF in 1990.

"I loved it, was a truly awakening experience, and I want to thank Neira Isley from the bottom of my heart and soul."
"A book that is birthed out of Self Realization and leads you into God Realization for you own Spiritual Unfoldment."
"Together we must seek a global healing and this book discusses how our person healing is a microcosm for the macroscopic healing of humanity. Together we must face the shadows: trauma, life energy vampires, elite parasites, fear, shadow governments, contaminated sustenance, black ops, secret societies, addictions, brainwashing, the war on consciousness... Together we must embrace the light: healing, soul contracts, personal empowerment, balancing emotional energy, attunement, guides of light, star relatives, quantum potential, multidimensional awareness, intuition, wholeness, interconnection, forgiveness, peace, birthing a truly sentient humanity, love..."
"This book made me think of a beginning course I took in business administration in that the course work presented looked at the business world in a big picture sense. Should a course ever be taught at a university somewhere in the world Facing the Shadow, Embracing the Light by Niara Isley would be an excellent broad based text book to be included in the course work."
"If you are a person who feels you have been abducted or if you are an experiencer and looking book that will speak on different levels to you than this is the book for you."
"The meat of the subject I believe resides in these accounts, but the major caveat is our ability to process this data confluent to our set paradigms."
Backed by documents newly declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, Colonel Corso reveals for the first time his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the crash, and discloses the U.S. government's astonishing role in the Roswell incident: what was found, the cover-up, and how these alien artifacts changed the course of 20th century history. Hesemann and Mantle are young UFO researchers who have visited Roswell and spent several years collecting documents and eyewitness testimony from people reputedly involved in either the crash recovery or its cover-up. Like Hesemann and Mantle, he asserts that the Cold War was a cover to develop "alien technology" that superpowers USA and USSR could not only use against the other but against the threat of extraterrestrial invasion. The most memorable passage in either book, however, is Hesemann and Mantle's suggestion that President Clinton induced the warring parties to make peace in the Bosnian war only by showing them proof of that alien menace.

Corso breaks down each one of the above mentioned topics in multiple sections and explains the R&D side all the way up to how contracts were given out and how they kept it under wraps. This is necessary to show the factual side and everything that took place through the time period and the push back from some gov agencies and other governments."
"As an aside, this book makes me re-consider Tom DeLong's effort to help give credit where credit is due to military and government types who are real patriots and hero's and working in this behind the scenes black area. I think the Government SHOULD seriously consider more efforts like this book. And actually, given the date this book came out (1997, end of Clinton Presidency) and the Panetta/Clinton interest in disclosure, I'm not so sure this isn't a form of official disclosure ;) This type of thing can certainly help Americans and people of the world understand the true heroism and patriotism of those who have had to work behind the scenes and without acknowledgment for their efforts for the world and country."
"On my third try to write a review, yes, it confirmed how the reverse engineering of the Roswell UFO and the autopsying of its occupants lead to the development of lazers, printed circuits, night vision, and other inventions that would have take longer to develop otherwise."
"For anyone interested in the possibility of UFO’s, this is definitely a book you should read."
"The UFO crash at Roswell continues to intrigue so many and this book lets the reader know what took place at the time of the crash and well what happened after the crash."

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. A landmark volume in science writing by one of the great minds of our time, Stephen Hawking’s book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin—and what made its start possible? Among the topics gracefully covered are gravity, black holes, the Big Bang, the nature of time, and physicists' search for a grand unifying theory. This is deep science; these concepts are so vast (or so tiny) as to cause vertigo while reading, and one can't help but marvel at Hawking's ability to synthesize this difficult subject for people not used to thinking about things like alternate dimensions. The journey is certainly worth taking, for, as Hawking says, the reward of understanding the universe may be a glimpse of "the mind of God." --Therese Littleton [Hawking] can explain the complexities of cosmological physics with an engaging combination of clarity and wit. Mr. Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher's gifts -- easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life.

"I will admit that his dissertations on Quantum Mechanics left me a little dizzy at times, but all in all, this is one of the most enlightening books i have ever read."
"Having read and understood all of the words in this book, I just do not have a firm grasp on much of what Mr. Hawking presents."
"I really enjoyed this film."
"However, 2 friends of mine that don't have ANY interest in physics, borrowed my book to check out, and they actually liked some of it They told me that they were actually able to understand a lot more than they thought they would because they have no interest in physics, let along understand it much."
"Stephen Hawking takes a fascinating but incredibly complicated subject and breaks it down."
"Brief, History, and Time. The thoughts are interesting enough for me to go back and read the work once more, maybe even more than once, to grasp the possibly profound ideas about existence over time and space, and maybe even multiple dimensions of time and space, we might contemplate are there."

In academia, in government agencies, in laboratories around the world, and even in the Oval Office–where an inquisitive President Clinton had received the news in secret– players of all kinds plotted their next moves. Among them: David McKay, the dynamic geologist associated with the first moon landing, who labored to achieve at long last a second success; Bill Schopf of UCLA, a researcher determined to remain at the top of his field and the first to challenge McKay’s claims; Dan Goldin, the boss of NASA; and Dick Morris, the controversial presidential adviser who wanted to use the story for Clinton’s reelection and unfortunately made sure it ended up in the diary of a $200-an-hour call girl. Impeccably researched and thrillingly involving, Kathy Sawyer’s The Rock from Mars is an exemplary work of modern nonfiction, a vivid account of the all-too-human high-stakes drive to learn our true place in the cosmic scheme. When geologist Robbie Score spied the little green rock lying on the bluish-white Antarctic landscape on a December day in 1984, she had no idea it would change her life, provoke fierce controversies among scientists around the world and challenge humankind's view of ourselves. Her discovery was the meteorite from Mars that captured the world's attention in 1996 when NASA scientists claimed that minuscule structures deep within it were the fossilized remains of ancient Martian life. Shipped to NASA's Texas Space Center, the rock's strange carbon compounds eventually inspired a group of fervid scientists working in secret to conclude that they were examining nothing less than fossilized remains of ancient microbial Martian life.

"This got off to a somewhat slow start, which was necessary to give the background information on how this meteorite was found, and why it subsequently languished, all but forgotten, in a drawer for many years before someone finally thought to more carefully examine it. It turned into such a big deal and subject of intense interest that President Clinton made an announcement about the mind blowing discovery of what "looked like" life forms from another planet. If you have an interest in astronomy and fossels this goes into much detail about the hundreds of scientific tests that were carried out on pieces of this meteorite by scientists all over the world as they tried to figure out what exactly was in this rock and if it was, in fact, biological in nature. Yes, the tests do indeed indicate that everything is present in this amazing meteorite for an average scientist to conclude that there was life forms of microbes housed inside."
"_The Rock from Mars: A Detective Story on Two Planets_ (Random House) by Kathy Sawyer tells how the announcement came about, the science behind it, and the personalities (and the infighting) that made it happen and have kept research in the arena to the current day at various cutting edges at the limits of our understanding. In the ten years since the announcement, the controversy has become less prominent, but among scientists who are looking into the subject, there are still opposing camps on the matter, and vehement disagreements, and hurt feelings. For instance, what was learned about possible earthly contamination of the rock will be used when bits of Mars are brought back by robot spacecraft sometime in the future. With its depiction of all-too-human scientists attempting objectivity when contemplating the great mystery of life elsewhere, Sawyer's account is an appealing picture of a good example of how science works."

Best Astronomy of the Universe
According to this theory, the Big Bang was not the beginning of time but the bridge to a past filled with endlessly repeating cycles of evolution, each accompanied by the creation of new matter and the formation of new galaxies, stars, and planets. Steinhardt and Turok, cosmologists at Princeton and Cambridge, respectively, present their case that string theory gives a more complete account of our origins; in this account, the big bang came about through the collision of two membrane-thick strings called "branes." According to the authors, this solves certain problems with the standard big bang theory, such as inflation, dark matter and dark energy. Their new theory has little chance of being confirmed experimentally in the foreseeable future, but many who eventually embraced the big bang will doubtless find the notion of cyclic universes and parallel worlds attractive. Moreover, while the regnant theory of the big bang predicts the eventual extinction of the universe, the dynamics of ekpyrosis promise a new beginning, a new cosmos--a trillion years from now.

"This book gives the history and details, in everyday language, of what may turn out to be the two leading theories of the universe."
"By providing their experiences and backgrounds, you feel the passion of the authors and understand why they can make cosmology interesting."
"Excellent book on cosmology including a proposal to resolve the singularity at the big bang."
"For those who might be suspicious about the results of this book, I quote what Stephan Hawking - an inflationary model leader- said about it: "a challenging alternative to the picture of the big bang and the future of the universe"."
"Swinging back and forth (in a bit of chaotic and repetitive manner ) authors drill voraciously in systematic fashion all possible holes in the Guth/Linde's Inflationary as well as in Susskind's Landscape and Vilenkin's Multiverses models. Though certain fragments are truly exhausting (for example: how colliding branes convert one type of energy to another), numerous repetitions and attempts to emphasize how things happen, are actually often helpful. What has been planted in my head is that: extra "D" + branes + dark energy + potential energy related "spring-like" force between the branes = ekpyrosis. It is very important to cosmology to have competing models and unanswered lingering questions about their validity."
"Excellent book, gives a great look at an alternate view of the cosmos without being fantastical."

In this “enjoyable, fast-paced tale” ( The Economist ), master historian David McCullough “shows as never before how two Ohio boys from a remarkable family taught the world to fly” ( The Washington Post) and “captures the marvel of what the Wrights accomplished” ( The Wall Street Journal ). Essential reading, this is “a story of timeless importance, told with uncommon empathy and fluency…about what might be the most astonishing feat mankind has ever accomplished… The Wright Brothers soars” ( The New York Times Book Review ). An Amazon Best Book of May 2015: Most people recognize the famous black-and-white photo of the Wright brothers on a winter day in 1903, in a remote spot called Kitty Hawk, when they secured their place in history as the first to fly a motor-powered airplane. That brilliant moment is the cornerstone of the new masterful book by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough, who brings his deft touch with language and his eye for humanizing details to the unusually close relationship between a pair of brothers from Dayton, Ohio, who changed aviation history. Bicycle shop owners by day, Wilbur and Orville taught themselves flight theory through correspondence with the Smithsonian and other experts. But the brothers soon realized that theory was no match for practical testing, and they repeatedly risked life and limb in pursuit of their goal—including when Orville fractured a leg and four ribs in a 75-foot plunge to the ground. McCullough’s narration of ventures such as this—their famous first flight at Kitty Hawk; the flight in Le Mans, France that propelled the brothers to international fame; the protracted patent battles back at home; and the early death of elder brother Wilbur—will immerse readers in the lives of the Wright family. The Wright Brothers soars.” (Daniel Okrent The New York Times Book Review). “David McCullough has etched a brisk, admiring portrait of the modest, hardworking Ohioans who designed an airplane in their bicycle shop and solved the mystery of flight on the sands of Kitty Hawk, N.C. Mr. McCullough is in his element writing about seemingly ordinary folk steeped in the cardinal American virtues—self-reliance and can-do resourcefulness.” (Roger Lowenstein The Wall Street Journal). Mr. McCullough presents all this with dignified panache, and with detail so granular you may wonder how it was all collected.” (Janet Maslin The New York Times). "McCullough’s magical account of [the Wright Brothers'] early adventures — enhanced by volumes of family correspondence, written records, and his own deep understanding of the country and the era — shows as never before how two Ohio boys from a remarkable family taught the world to fly." But it’s also a story that resonates with anyone who believes deeply in the power of technology to change lives – and the resistance some have to new innovations.” (Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google ). With his ear for dialect and eye for detail, McCullough puts the Wrights in historical context, flushed out by vivid portraits of their loyal father and sister. "McCullough's usual warm, evocative prose makes for an absorbing narrative; he conveys both the drama of the birth of flight and the homespun genius of America's golden age of innovation." "McCullough shows the Wright brothers (snubbed by the British as mere bicycle mechanics) for the important technoscientists they were. The United States honors David McCullough for his lifelong efforts to document the people, places, and events that have shaped America.” (From The Presidential Medal of Freedom Citation).

Find Best Price at Amazon"David McCullough is one of the preeminent American historians of our times, the deft biographer of John Adams and Harry Truman, and in this book he brings his wonderful historical exposition and storytelling skills to the lives of the Wright brothers. If I have some minor reservations they are only in the lack of technical detail which could have informed descriptions of some of the Wrights' experiments and the slightly hagiographical tint that McCullough is known to bring to his subjects. Firstly McCullough who is quite certainly one of the best storytellers among all historians does a great job of giving us the details of the Wrights' upbringing and family. The Wrights' sister Katharine also played an integral part in their lives; they were very close to her and McCullough's account is filled with copious examples of the affectionate, sometimes scolding, always encouraging letters that the siblings wrote to each other. Lastly, McCullough does a fine job describing how the Wrights rose to world fame after their flight. McCullough's account of the Wright brothers, as warm and fast-paced as it is, was most interesting to me for the lessons it holds for the future. But perhaps what the Wright brothers' story exemplifies the most is the importance of simple traits like devotion to family, hard work, intense intellectual curiosity and most importantly, the frontier, can-do attitude that has defined the American dream since its inception."
"McCullough has written a serious and riveting review of the lives of Wilbur and Orville. FAMILY. McCullough makes it clear that the Wilbur and Orville were a product of their family environment. McCullough writes — “He was an unyielding abstainer, which was rare on the frontier, a man of rectitude and purpose— all of which could have served as a description of Milton himself and Wilbur and Orville as well.”. His strict values molded and focused the views of the three younger Wrights (Katherine, Wilbur, and Orville). I am sure that Orville and myself will do nothing that will disgrace the training we received from you and Mother.”. McCullough writes — “Years later, a friend told Orville that he and his brother would always stand as an example of how far Americans with no special advantages could advance in the world. the greatest thing in our favor was growing up in a family where there was always much encouragement to intellectual curiosity.’ ”. BUSINESS. McCullough records Wilbur’s thoughts on being in business in a letter to his brother Lorin in 1894: “In business it is the aggressive man, who continually has his eye on his own interest, who succeeds. … We ought not to have been businessmen.”. In 1911, Wilbur wrote: “When we think what we might have accomplished if we had been able to devote this time [fighting patent infringement suits] to experiments, we feel very sad, but it is always easier to deal with things than with men, and no one can direct his life entirely as he would choose.”. The Wrights never built, or even tried to build, an industrial empire as Ford or Edison or their Dayton neighbors John and Frank Patterson (National Cash Register) had done. Wilbur and Orville were superb engineers, though neither went beyond high school. For example, the wind tunnel had been invented thirty years before, but Wilbur and Orville developed it into a precise quantitative instrument. For example, McCullough writes — “In early 1889, while still in high school, Orville started his own print shop in the carriage shed behind the house, and apparently with no objections from the Bishop. To reinforce that point requires some expansion of that event or similar other defining events in the lives of Wilbur and Orville. One source of knowledge about the Wrights’ approach to aeronautics is the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton."
"Of particular interest are the Wright's struggles to actually fly at Kitty Hawk and how primitive a place that part of North Carolina was at the start of the 20th century. McCullough does spend a bit of time talking about Charles Taylor who was the Wright's mechanic and without whom they would not have flown. If you want to know more about the Wright's then this is a great place to start but a fuller biography/history might have been more fulfilling."
